Download or read book Internet and Gender in Kazakhstan written by Jasmin Dall’Agnola and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-06-14 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Internet and Gender in Kazakhstan offers an empirically rich and theoretically compelling analysis of how the Internet is influencing societal attitudes towards women’s roles and agency in Kazakhstan. Equipped with intimate perspectives from the wider public in five different regions of Kazakhstan, the book conceptualises, theorises, and analyses the relationship between the Internet and gender-related attitudes in Kazakhstan through a decolonial feminist lens. The author argues that digital communication technologies’ effect on societal attitudes towards gender roles and norms in Kazakhstan is conditional on Internet and social media penetration rates, state-led digital censorship, and the ways in which local activists and conservative bloggers use their online presence. The book will be of interest to policy makers and researchers in the field of media studies, gender studies – in particular women’s rights, LGBTQ+, feminist activism, and gender-based violence – and Central Asian studies.

Book excerpt: This investigation focuses on two competing theories (historical institutionalism and social constructivism) and their explanatory value in regards to female political representation in Kazakhstan. Historical Institutionalism maintains that current institutional dynamics are constrained by past institutional formations, even when these past institutions are no longer relevant. Social Constructivism challenges this theory by upholding that institutions are culturally situated and a reflection of shared ideas rather than material forces as argued by historical institutionalism. Based on Hanna Pitkin’s (1967) four dimensions of representation (formal, descriptive, substantive, and symbolic), I examine how Kazakhstan’s Soviet past and its creation of a Kazakh ethnic-national identity resulted in the decline of female political representation in all four dimensions. Utilizing official documents, news reports, and interviews conducted with elite females and university students in Almaty, Kazakhstan, women are less represented now than they were under the Soviet regime. Although those interviewed felt they have more freedom under the current regime, realistically women not only have fewer formal mechanisms to guarantee representation, but also substantively, women’s issues have been subverted in order to promote a unified Kazakh identity. Where women were once of symbol of equality under the Soviet regime, in its place stands ethnic nationalism epitomized in the form of one Kazakh man, President Nursultan Nazarbayev. Comparing these results back to the two theoretical frameworks, historical institutionalism and social constructivism individually do not adequately provide an overall assessment on the current status of women in Kazakhstan. By integrating these two theories under one overarching lens, a more complete analysis on how the combination of both Kazakhstan’s desire to break from its institutional past and reassert dominance of a Kazakh national identity triggered the loss of female representation in Kazakhstan.

Book excerpt: Extrait de l' "Executive Summary" : "It is important to understand how poverty reduction policies and programs may be affecting women as compared with men to ensure that development investments are as efficient and sustainable as possible. Effective implementation of poverty reduction programming requires an understanding of how the economic transition has had a different impact on women and on their status relative to that of men. Poverty reduction programs may need to be adjusted or revamped to address different and unintended impacts on both sexes. The evidence of gender disparities in economic and social life in Kazakhstan exposes how policies have failed to provide equitable benefits to all citizens. Addressing these gaps also has significant potential to help accelerate economic growth and reducing poverty."
Download or read book Gender and National Identity written by Valentine Moghadam and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1994-06 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gender politics exist inevitably in all Islamist movements that expect women to assume the burden of a largely male-defined tradition. Even in secular political movements in the Muslim world - notably those anti-colonial national liberation movements where women were actively involved- women have experiences since independence a general reversal of the gains made. This collection, written by women from the countries concerned, explores the gender dynamics of a variety of political movements with very different trajectories to reveal how nationalism, revolution and Islamization are all gendered processes. The authors explore women's experiences in the Algerian national liberation movement and more recently the fundamentalist FIS; similarly their involvement in the struggle to construct a Bengali national identity and independent Bangladeshi state; the events leading to the overthrow of the Shah and subsequent Islamization of Iran; revolution and civil war in Afghanistan; and the Palestinian Intifada. This book argues that in periods of rapid political change, women in Muslim societies are in reality central to efforts to construct a national identity.

The recent growth of the Internet and access to competing narratives with regard to gender roles and family values in Kazakhstan make the country an ideal case study for exploring how digital communication technologies influence societal attitudes towards women's roles and agency in countries that are neither fully traditional nor fully modern. The book will be of interest to policy makers and researchers in the field of media studies, gender studies, in particular women's rights, LGBTQ+, feminist activism and gender-based violence, and Central Asian Studies"--
Download or read book Understanding the Discourse on Domestic Violence Against Women in the Kazakh Society written by Kundyz Baigonyssova and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Activists and international organizations express their concern over the prevalence of domestic violence (DV) against women in Kazakhstan and the lack of adequate state response to eliminate it. The roots of the problems are seen in the traditional views of men's dominance and women's subordination normalized by local cultural and ideological discourses. To reveal how ideas of gender discrimination are perpetuated in dominant Kazakh discourses, I used the method of discourse world analysis suggested by socio-cognitive critical discourse studies. The main analytical toolbox consists of construal operations and spaciotemporal configuration of the described event and its entities. This method focuses on exploring how characteristics and behavior of domestic violence actors are legitimized by the authors of the analyzed texts and on understanding their viewpoints on DV. My findings show that public texts in Kazakhstan represent the issue of DV against women from the perspective of traditional and patriarchal narratives that promote a man`s control over his family and a woman`s servitude to her husband and that mystify an abuser`s image"--

Download or read book Women and Trade written by World Bank;World Trade Organization and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-04 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trade can dramatically improve women’s lives, creating new jobs, enhancing consumer choices, and increasing women’s bargaining power in society. It can also lead to job losses and a concentration of work in low-skilled employment. Given the complexity and specificity of the relationship between trade and gender, it is essential to assess the potential impact of trade policy on both women and men and to develop appropriate, evidence-based policies to ensure that trade helps to enhance opportunities for all. Research on gender equality and trade has been constrained by limited data and a lack of understanding of the connections among the economic roles that women play as workers, consumers, and decision makers. Building on new analyses and new sex-disaggregated data, Women and Trade: The Role of Trade in Promoting Gender Equality aims to advance the understanding of the relationship between trade and gender equality and to identify a series of opportunities through which trade can improve the lives of women.
